Becoming Grown Ups

[akirlu]

Someone has stolen our living room and replaced it with an exact duplicate a room of the sort that would be occupied by grown up people. It's so shiny and exciting, it feels a lot like Christmas morning. I got up early on Sunday, just to sit on the new couch and admire the overall affect.

We got the new-to-us couch and club chair in on Saturday, with much adventure. We had by then been forced to conclude that we might not be able to fit the old couch through the door to Hal's office, so instead we rearranged the living room so that it can accomodate both couches. The result looks terrifyingly grown up, and coordinated. And seats about fourteen people if you include the rather commodious arms of the couch and club chair. Yowza. I reckon we really can throw a party.

I'll have to take some pictures of the living room to give a proper idea of the place, but in the meantime here's a picture Hal took of the new couch, while it was still at late, lamented, lost Suburbia.





ETA: You can see Hal's panorama of the room here. What's interesting to me is the way the paint on the wall here actually looks like it did on the original paint chip, instead of much, much brighter -- the way it normally looks on the wall.

Also, public thanks are due to Jerry and Suzle for answering the call for moving help. Thanks, guys!

No, none of the former customers came with the couch. Pity, in a way, as we were initially concerned about having enough help to carry the furniture in.
